Do you get crazy hair days like we do?
Of course you don't, you beautiful masterpiece! But it helps to have a few tricks up your sleeve when you don't have time to get cleaned up.
These are our favorite emergency ways to wear for those crazy gym hair, unwashed hair, or just plain old bad hair days!
DON'T SWEAT IT
1. If you don't have dry shampoo, don't sweat it (well, anymore). A teeny tiny sprinkling of baby powder or cornstarch at the roots will work. Or try our strangest favorite: a dab of alcohol-based hand sanitizer rubbed into the hands and gently massaged into the roots at the scalp and allowed to dry for a few minutes. No one will question the smell these days.
THE UPSIDE DOWN
2. Brush your hair upside down. Flip your head over and either finger-comb or use a paddle brush to the hair straight up, helping redistribute the oils. This will create a little volume that will keep your hair looking full, even if it isn't squeaky clean. For extra fluff, blast the roots with some heat briefly with your blow dryer.
OLD RELIABLE
3. When putting on your favorite Lilac Market headband, try wearing the knot in the back. Not only will it cover up those unwashed roots, but will show off your color and pattern of choice with the widest part of the headband! The perfect distraction from hair that won’t behave. For visuals, check out our 3 Ways to Wear post here.
BRAID THE BANGS
4. Got bangs? We got you. Try a hairline braid or twist around your face. Your bangs won’t look stringy, and it will actually hold better with unwashed hair. Then pin behind your ear in an X shape. Check out the cute braid in our hairstyles blog post for inspiration.
CURL CURE
5. If your curly locks are unrecognizable, wet your hands with water and then braid hair into two tight braids. Let your hair dry for about 15 minutes, then gently unwind. The moisture-braid combo reactives product already in your hair and renews its shape.
